PROJECT:

Intersections Voices, the Artist & Mentor (Working Title)

Intersections Voices, the Artist & Mentor is a work about a personal artistic journey. It is a duet through a series of conversations within and without. It evolves from a prior contrived and prescribed role into a unknown altered state. This dance work explores the apprehensive search for artistic identity as well as individual appeasement.
